I finally had some time this past weekend to get in a few flights. So far, its great. Landing are hot. But not impossible. I still need to tweak the CG. It climbs a bit. But all in all... very very nice.

The motor is not the best choice. KV is too high. Even with a 4.5x4.1 its coming down way hot. And its waaayy too loud. I think a couple of guys just about fell off their seats when I launched. I'm seriously considering a geared folder set up.

It would be nice if you could write which motor and setup you find "too hot" so me and the other dudes with limited memory capasity can get the info without searching through the whole thread to find a post where you once wrote it.
Thanks

Thanks Arcteryxxx, Sorry. I was just rambling. Not really looking for help with the motor. Mostly because I don't remember either.

No problem It's just that when a Dude discoveres a bad setup (e.g. excessive heat) it would be helpful to write up the components so other Dudes can learn from it. It's in this way the threads can be a common pool of knowledge for anyone to benefit from. (and for some non contributing, shady creatures to feast on too)
